Flight was uneventful, as most good flights are. Back is VERY tweaked and sore, tho. I'm tellin' ya, the tablet form of gabapentin does NOT work REMOTELY as well for me as the capsules. :( Bed might be too soft. :) Stupid memory foam! I am tired, and it's not even late for y'all. Hell, it's not even eight here!

I'm on my way

skipwell — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:12:29 GMT

The car is mostly packed. I'm stopping at the Chiropractor, Then off to lunch. From lunch, SmarteCartes and smuggling. Then, liftoff. With any luck, there will be three of us on the flight... If you don't hear from me before Saturday, don't panic. I will try to check in tomorrow. Much love.

(yeah, it's a Dennis DeYoung kinda night...)

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me On board, i'm the captain, so climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And i'll try, oh lord, i'll try to carry on I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy, some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had We live happily forever, so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said They said come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies Singing come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me

Babe, I'm leaving...

skipwell — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 07:55:53 GMT

...i must be on my way The time is drawing near My train is going, i see it in your eyes The love, the need, your tears But i'll be lonely without you And i'll need your love to see me through Please believe me, my heart is in your hands And i'll be missing you. You know it's you babe Whenever i get weary and i've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage and the strength i need Please believe that it's true Babe, i love you. You know it's you babe Whenever i get weary and i've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage and the strength i need Please believe that it's true Babe, i love you. Babe, i'm leaving, i'll say it once again Somehow try to smile I know the feeling we're trying to forget If only for a while But i'll be lonely without you And i'll need your love to see me through Please believe me, my heart is in your hands And i'll be missing you Babe, i love you.

Just had to share. PS - I made it through a full workday! Woot!

I have no gripes with boothies.

skipwell — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:56:37 GMT

and the point was that i have no gripe with the word. no, actually the point was that the word doesn't matter, and for those who'd see it "banned", it will just be replaced with something else. i don't use it negatively, i don't hear it negatively, however there are those that do either or both. dirty liberals. :)

Proof about Workers in Booths!!

skipwell — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:50:16 GMT

OMG, those asshats who work in booths are NEVER in full costume! I saw a worker from a booth in the newspaper wearing hightops and a mohawk! OMFG! Workers from booths don't care about the faire either... workers from booths just KILL the show for those of us who are performers of history! I wish we didn't need the money that the vendors bring in so that we could keep all workers from booths out of our sandbox! OMG, those asshat vendors are NEVER in full costume! I saw a vendor in the newspaper wearing hightops and a mohawk! OMFG! Vendors don't care about the faire either... vendors just KILL the show for those of us who care! I wish we didn't need the money that the booths bring in so that we could keep all vendors out of our sandbox! OMG, those asshat merchants are NEVER in full costume! I saw a merchant in the newspaper wearing hightops and a mohawk! OMFG! Merchants don't care about the faire either... merchants just KILL the show for those of us who care! I wish we didn't need the money that the merchant's businesses bring in so that we could keep all merchants out of our sandbox! OMG, those George W Bush supporters are NEVER in full costume! I saw a George W Bush supporters in the newspaper wearing hightops and a mohawk! OMFG! George W Bush supporters don't care about the faire either... George W Bush supporters just KILL the show for those of us who care! I wish we didn't need the money that the George W Bush supporters' businesses bring in so that we could keep all George W Bush supporters out of our sandbox!
